| Description of the problem | I was turning into a driveway with my foot on the brake when my 2007 rav4 suddenly began to accelerate. The rpm's were over 6000. I took my vehicle into the dealer that day and they performed a diagnostic check but told me they found nothing wrong. I asked what i could do or who i could speak to and they said there nothing unless the vehicle was recalled. This incident happened in may 2009 and when i had the vehicle in just recently for normal maintenance i again was told there was nothing i could do since it is not a part of the recall. Why isn't it? Must someone in my family die before someone will make it a part of the recall list? I am taking my vehicle in for a safety check next week. |
